Happy First Day of Summer

Today is the first day of summer although living in Miami it feels like it's summer all the time and everyone here practically wears flipflops all year long, the kids definately look forward to their time off from school to go out and play in the sun.

As I sat with my nieces over the past few weeks, and sorta interviewed them for this post. I asked them what were a few things they would like to do over the summer. Realistic and Affordable of course, I was afraid that one would ask me to take them to the moon.  So here's what they've requested.


☀ Pool party

☀ Go to Disney World

☀ Go to the beach
   

☀ Go to the park

☀ Visit Samantha and Sabrina (my other 2 nieces)

☀ Bake cupcakes and cookies

☀ Go to the SpongeBob Hotel... (Nickelodeon Hotel)

☀ Get a facial, mani, pedi☀ Go to the Zoo

☀ Go to the Water Park

☀ Fly Kites

☀ Go to the Icecream store (Menchies)

☀ Have a sleepover


☀ Go to the movies
☀ Go to Jump A Roos

After their requests, I began doing some homework on some outdoor activities and putting together a spectacular pool party. Every year I have a Summer Bash for the girls, last year I took a break from it all, but this year's Bash is going out with a BAM. 

Check back at the end of the summer to see what we've accomplished!

New Public Recreation Areas

The Huns and I took the girls to a park a few blocks from my parent's house that my siblings and I grew up going to. I haven't been back there since 2005 maybe 2006. I was amazed at how everything had changed. The lake, the benches, and the cute ducks were still there and they've now built in a beautiful playground for the kids, and removed the sand. Which I am thankful for, not only because of the extra sand that gets in the car and clothes, but the playareas have been filled with cigarette stubs, beer bottles, and god knows what else sicko's dig in there. One day, while my nieces played in the sand with their bucket and shovel at a different park, they found a condom wrapper... I was disgusted...sure enough I've never taken them back there again.

 

Here are some pictures I took of the new play areas and the girls.
